Woo! Chapter 2. This one is slighty longer and kinda fluffy :) I love fluff. Enjoy (and don't forget to review!) much love xx


Darren woke up first. His arms were resting on something, rather someone. He blinked, adjusting his eyes to the familiar surroundings and slowly lifted his head. Chris was sound asleep beside him. Eyes closed and lips slightly parted. Chrislookedsoadorable

He thought be better lift his arm off the other boy, but he couldn't bring himself to do it. Chris was un-moving and Darren didn't want to wake him up. He could feel his arm raise and lower with every shallow breath Chris took. Instead Darren just laid there. With his arm draped over Chris he just sat and glanced across.

They were in his living room. They must have drifted off during the film. Darren had put on Mulan last night. Chris was one of the only people who enjoyed watching Disney movies with Him. Darren wouldn't go as far as calling himself obsessed. But god, he did love Mulan.

He planted his feet on the floor, pushing himself off the sofa and into the centre of the room. He spun round to lay eyes on Chris who hadn't moved an inch. A smile crept across his face as he thought about what he might be dreaming.

Right then Chris moved his shoulders up and straightened his legs so they were hanging of the side. Darren stood dead still, making the slightest movement would shake him out of his peaceful slumber. After Chris settled back down Darren crept around the side.

He pulled one leg over, then brought the other one up. He was balancing on one leg with one foot hanging in the air, turning slowly when Chris decided to move again. Darren jumped and toppled over backwards, hitting the floor. Hard.

Chris jumped at the loud crash. His eyes were wide but his mouth was screwed shut.

"Owww!"

Chris rubbed his eyes, kneeling up and looking over the back of the sofa.

"What on earth?"

"Sorry Chris, Sorry! I was trying not to wake you" He pushed up off one hand and sat on the floor. Chris was laughing, shaking his head.

"Stop laughing"

"Ahh, that was funny though"

Darren gave him a look and Chris just rested his head on his hands.

"Thanks for trying not to wake me, slept great"

Darren's face lit up. "Awesome. Do you want something to eat? there's still pizza left over from last night…"

"sure"

Darren slid up, brushing him self down and walking towards the kitchen. Chris watched him leave. Darren was searching through the kitchen, trying to find the pizza box. He caught sight of Chris' lingering eyes and grinned. Chris quickly looked away and returned to his spot on the couch. He often got lost in thought. Especially when Darren was around.


The alarm went off and Chris open his eyes gradually. Swinging his arm up and smacking the snooze button. His hand flopped off and he rolled onto his side.

He had a rehearsal today with Darren. Their Duet for next episode was beautiful, and today Zach was going to show them the choreography.

His hand fell over his face, rubbing away the tiredness. He had one hour to get changed, showered and on his way to the studio. He really didn't want to move but he had no choice. He sat up and stared at the empty wall for a bit. He needed food, and a diet coke.


Chris pushed open the double doors.

"Sorry I'm late! Traffic was a nightmare and the driver wasn't on time."

"Not a problem Chris. I was just showing Darren the moves for the second verse. Take a seat."

Chris returned a breathy thanks and plonked down by the back wall. The room was large and white with mirrors mounted opposite him. Darren was wearing grey tracksuit bottoms and a navy blue v-neck shirt. It looked good.

Zach grabbed Darren's hand "So to take Chris like this.." pushing Darren back slightly. He turned over to Chris and shot him a childlike smirk. Turning around to listen again. Chris just observed the two men, chuckling occasionally when Darren did a wrong step.

"Alright Chris, up you jump- it's your turn now"

"Urgh, alright" Chris smiling, pushing off the wall and dragging his feet into the centre.

"Do you still need me or can I check my phone?" Darren asked with a hopeful grin.

"No, stay."

Darren nodded and just stood there. Chris waiting to be engaged with the music. Zach turned back to him.

"Now you saw how I held Darren, he's going to do that to you.." Chris' heart flipped, he wasn't quite sure.

"…Stand here, just accept my hands and flow with it"

Zach moved his hands around Chris, nodding over to Darren.

"Darren. Take over"

He moved his hands away and Darren took his place. Chris looked up at Darren and their eyes met.

"Now Darren's going to turn you around, keep you hands there" He moved Darren's hands lower down his hips.

Chris did as Zach advised, Turning around so his back was to Darren. His breaths became short and fast. His heart started beating faster.

"No, move closer"

Darren took a step forward so his chest was flat against his back. His dark curls tickled the side of Chris' face. He could feel Darren's warm breath down his neck, and it clung there while the music played.

"Stay there, I just got to grab something" Zach jogged out the room the doors closing behind him.

They did as they were told. Staying motionless. Static. Neither of them wanted to move. Their positioning felt so right. Darren moved his chin forward. He rested it on Chris' shoulder and closed his eyes.

Chris swallowed. What was Darren doing?

"Well, this is awkward."

"No it isn't.."

Chris blinked and turned to face Darren again. His hands still stayed glued to Chris' waist.

"Wha-"

"Hey, I told you to be still" Zach came through the doorway towards the two boys.

"Sorry" Darren looked back at Chris and they both gazed at each other. He turned Chris back around.

"-where were we?"

Chris could feel Darren smiling behind him. They continued with the rehearsal but Chris was still flustered by the convocation that just took place. That evening he tried to keep his thoughts from trailing off. But they kept leading back to Darren. The way his hands gripped so tight, the way his voice sounded and how he didn't find any part of that situation awkward. He reassured himself that nothing could happen between them. Darren was straight. He could never go for a guy like Chris. It was unsafe to think otherwise.
